Box/Butter Box
Box/Butter Box
This is a solid, rectangular box that you hop onto and slide across; it’s usually made out of wood with rounded metal edges (‘coping’) and a plastic top. Boxes are easier to balance on than a thin rail so ideal for learners. Many parks even include ‘ride-on’ boxes with a ramp that leads you straight on, meaning you don’t even have to ollie (although some riders will tell you ride-on boxes ain’t cool!) Remember, as soon as you’re on the box you can’t use your edges, so keep your base flat.
